Undercard bout

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Neeyo Collin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Koji Murosaki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Collin comes to the cage accompanied by Bagsakan - Collaboration. The crowd seem to be enjoying Murosaki's choice of entrance music: Lady Marmalade. On his way into the cage it seems that Neeyo Collin has been attacked by a crazed fan! It looks like it might have been the just bleed guy! Luckily Neeyo Collin seems to be OK! I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
